    The fear of poisoning one’s self was not even an issue as children and we survived (GenX Strong 🤣), but as adults we have been conditioned to think everything outside the norm, and what is presented to us by the mainstream is downright dangerous. In the PNW I learned early on the difference between poison oak and ivy and look alike plants that are benign or beneficial. I’m still learning about which wild grapes are safe. Water hemlock has always been a fear, but I just don’t eat wild carrots or anything similar. I want to learn about the differences though, and will as I traverse up the hills on this new journey. Thank you to all of you for your vast amounts of knowledge. ❤❤❤
